       I hope these do generate compile-time errors and aren't allowed
       through... it would be a travesty if we had to allow expressions that
       would be known to generate runtime errors at compile time.

    I dunno, maybe it's not necessary any more, $error in lambdacore for
    1.7.9 and before depends upon being able to enter expressions that
    could be known to generate runtime errors, such as "1 / 0".  I think
    the programmer should be allowed to do something that gives an error
    even if it's totally obvious that they are doing so.
